Party-pooped or just a little
jaded? Is an excess of festivity
showing in your face – perhaps
just a little more than it did at the
same time last year? If so, you’re
not alone. Here we recommend
a few light, ultrasound and RF-
based treats guaranteed to
freshen your look for 2014.
U
ltrasound, radiofrequency
and laser could become
some of your best friends, if
they aren’t already. Like the
Three Musketeers of non-invasive anti-
ageing, they’re on your side, using the
body’s own regenerative response to
rejuvenate your skin and its underlying
support structures.
They’re all forms of energy that create
heat under the dermis, heating up the
collagen proteins and inflicting micro-
damage that triggers the skin’s healing
mechanisms: stimulating the production
of collagen that rejuvenates the skin;
improving its elasticity and so on.
Existing collagen thickens immediately;
and the production of new collagen over
time is triggered.
